🐕  Dog Health

My 5-year-old dog had an emergency operation for pyometra 9 days ago and was critical for 4 days after that. Since coming home, she seems well and happy, but occasionally pants heavily for about 5 minutes and drinks a lot of water. She is still on twice-daily antibiotics. Is the panting and increased water consumption normal during recovery, or should I have the vet check her again? She's due for a vet visit and check-up in one week.
